Sven divides the gold up and pockets his share and hands Brats his share. Then puts the rest in a separate pouch to disperse to the others. "Thank you Elmer. I will get another length of rope from you as mine seems to have been left in the cave. I should probably also grab a few pitons and a hammer as it seems more caves may be in our future."
You come to the edge of town. the last building is closed this early in the morning. A sign hanging from the from says, "the sleeping Giant." It appears to you to be a tap room. No doubt the reason it is closed early in the morning. From there, you can see an old dilapidated manor on the hill. You'd estimate a half hours walk.
"Petros, it seems to me that we just learned some hard lessons about splitting up. I suggest we return, collect our associates, share what we've learned, and make a plan. I don't think we should fight wolves alone again. Let's head back."

Settle that up in your character sheet and you're the new owner of some fine rope and hammer!
Sven turns around to see Pops and Petros walk in and pulls out each of their shares and hands them 10 gold a piece. "Here each of you are for services rendered, now have either of you seen Ny?"
Ny walks in the door shortly after Pops and Petros. "Sorry boys, I had some healer business to attend to. When the goddess calls you must answer. Did I miss anything, what's the plan, did you find Rockseeker?"
Brats will watch Ny walk in and laugh as she finishes, blushing slightly. "We got some gold for ya! ALSO... It seems Rockseeker was onto a cave that has been lost for a long while. Stories speak that it is a special cave full of riches. Barthen hasn't seen him here, and we haven't seen him on our travels, so we came to the agreement that if he's anywhere, it's at this cave."
"A cave of riches you say? Of course, it has to be a cave. We've had such fantastic luck in caves recently. Well, where do we find this cave?" Petros walks around the shop picking up and examining the wares in a noncommittal fashion. He does his best to appear as relaxed as possible, hiding the fact that he is scared to death to find himself facing what he assumes will be a goblin army.
"Out loud. I'm thinking out loud. As much as I would love to go off hunting banshees and Redbrands and old manors, I think we all know exactly what happened to Gundren, and his map, and where, and what we have to do next. As much as it pains me to think about."
Sven lowers his head looking at Pops and says "You think we need to go back to the cave and find any info that we didn't get while we were busy getting our collective butts kicked. You know that if we have similar results that we are definitely dead then right? The goblins won't be lenient twice. I'm not saying we don't have to, just Thinking Out Loud."
"I don't disagree. Are you suggesting we find some side work before we look for Gundren and his map? Or should we go looking for Wave Echo without a map, and hope we beat the goblins to it? We need to settle on a plan, preferably one that doesn't get us all killed."
"If we are serious about saving Gundren then we probably need to go back immediately. I think we can be convinced that he was taken. And the fact his body wasn't just there and dead is about the best sign possible that he is still alive and was taken. I don't for a second believe that he ran away from that battle on the road leaving his map case behind based on the story I'm being told about this Phandelver's Pact. I say we act now or we go about our business doing whatever we want and forget about Gundren, because waiting is basically a death sentence for him."
"Odds are Gundren wasn't the only person looking for the lost cave. Before we go traipsing off into the hills chasing goblins and ghosts, what say we ask around. I think we should start with the Townmaster."
"One day. I'm not comfortable abandoning Gundren longer than that. We spend today getting our health back and poking around this town. Unless we learn something useful, tomorrow morning we go back and clear out that godforsaken goblin hole. Fair enough?"
"I'm not one to sleep in. Let's do some footwork here in town today - talk with the town master, ask around town, formulate a plan for tomorrow, gather what we need today. I'm tired of standing around."
Pops heads out the door, toward Townmaster Wester's office, pausing to invite those in our party who want to join him.

Petros
"You are right Pops" Petros will follow Pops back to look for the rest of the group.
Settle that up in your character sheet and you're the new owner of some fine rope and hammer!
Petros and Pops can assume the group is at Barthen's still. You head that way and find them inside.

"Sven, you still have that map case you took off of Gundren's horse?"
Sven
"I just might!" Sven shuffles through his backpack and digs out the map case. "What are you thinking Pops?" Sven hands the map case over to Pops.

So are you all wanting to spend the day here in town, sleep for the night, then head back to the cave?
It's morning today and will take half days travel to get back to the cave.
(Sorry for the rushed post. Working on school hard this week. Have a certification test Thursday.)
